Just as people dress up on Oct. 31, so Collier County has a new look. Instead of the manicured medians we’re used to, this Halloween brings us the ragged remnants of fallen trees stacked along the rights of way.

It’s almost as if Collier County is wearing a costume of its own.

And if the county can wear an Irma-inspired costume for Halloween, why not the rest of us?

With a little bit of ingenuity, traditional Halloween looks can be modified to capitalize on the storm motif that Collier County still sports nearly two months after the event.

For example, over the past couple of years, Donald Trump has been a ubiquitous Halloween character. Take the traditional business suit, orange wig and spray-on tan, then add half a sandwich. Voila! You’re not just Donald Trump, you’re Donald Trump passing out hurricane relief at the ravaged Naples Estates mobile home park.

Popular among boys of late is the ghillie suit, a camouflage mélange of grass and vines that allows the wearer to blend into the landscape like a sniper or a hunter.

The fashionable post-Irma ghillie suit wearer will replace the grass and vines with dead sticks and branches and blend into the new landscape, a pile of storm debris.

A favorite among females is the hero who uses her powers to stave off disaster. No, not Gal Gadot’s character from “Justice League.” Go out on Halloween as Everglades City Clerk Dottie Joiner, the real Wonder Woman.

In fact, hurricane recovery creates a whole new class of superhero. Instead of Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, go trick-or-treating as Lineman, Cableman or Generatorman.

In that vein, and in keeping with the Hurricane Irma theme, a short skirt, fishnet stockings and a yellow vest would make a terrific sexy evacuation shelter manager costume.

Or a short skirt, fishnet stockings, a hard hat and a giant claw would make for a sexy debris removal contractor.

Modern culture dictates that whatever is popular at the moment is sure to be everywhere at Halloween. This year that means characters from "Stranger Things," "IT" and LeBron James. And in Southwest Florida, the people handing out USDA food vouchers.

(Speaking of food, it is entirely appropriate this year for residents to pass out cans of tuna, jars of peanut butter and packages of crackers instead of candy to trick-or-treaters. Make use of those leftover emergency provisions.)

Conversely, at Halloween, it is often popular to be unpopular. From Catwoman to Darth Vader to the devil himself, villains abound. This year add the people booting the guy with the free food truck out of Everglades City.

Finally, going as a FEMA trailer would be a fitting Halloween costume. Like so many traditional characters — ghosts, vampires, zombies and werewolves — there’s little hard evidence to prove they actually exist.

Happy Halloween in the post-Irma era.
